Chemical Structure

1,4-Dihydroxy-5-nitroanthracene-9,10-dione CAS 27573-16-6 chemical structure

Description

1,4-Dihydroxy-5-nitroanthracene-9,10-dione (CAS 27573-16-6), molecular formula C14H7NO6 and molecular weight 285.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 1,4-Dihydroxy-5-nitroanthracene-9,10-dione is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 285.21 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1,4-Dihydroxy-5-nitroanthracene-9,10-dione meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
